sweaty interview of woe
Hello chaps,
I’m having some trouble with a green screen interview.
The subject is looking a little sweaty, especially on his upper lip.
If at all possible, I’d like to get rid of this!
I’ve been using Andrew Kramer’s blemish removal technique to set up an adjustment layer to only affect the problem areas, but the remove grain function isn’t really helping me out.
Does anyone know of a technique / filter that might help reduce the visibility of a small, bright patch of sweat on someone’s face?

I would have tried remove grain as you did… Try Smart Blur maybe. Unless reshooting is possible. You may be stuck with a sweaty man. As I often say, it’s hard to make chicken salad from chicken s@#t.

I would recommend trying the Clone Tool.
Or if the spot stands out enough you could pull a matte and try some color correction on it to dull it and bring it toward a flesh tone.
Or you could try a very subtle/small CC Simple Wire Removal.

A quick fix for this is to duplicate the clip. In the duplicated clip (above layer) create a mask around the problem area ie the upper lip, apply gaussian blur to desired amount and then feather the edges of mask. This technique has limitations, especially in regards to movement and quality, but if you’re subject is sitting still and the shot isn’t held too long then it can work.
